Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of single oral doses of BMS-650032 in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection
The study will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of single doses of VBY-376 in healthy subjects.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of TCM-700C as an add-on treatment to the combination drug therapy (Peginterferon α-2b plus Ribavirin) for patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C infections. This will be demonstrated by a higher sustained virologic response rate, defined as the absence of detectable HCV RNA 24 weeks after the termination of combinational drug treatment, compared with the placebo add-on.
Hypothesis: A regimen of low dose of peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin may be as effective as currently recommended regimen for chronic hepatitis C in HIV-coinfected patients. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of lower dose of pegylated interferon-α 2a (135 µg weekly) plus ribavirin and a shorter duration of treatment (20 weeks after achieving an undetectable plasmatic HCV-RNA)than the current recommended in patients with chronic hepatitis or compensated cirrhosis by hepatitis C virus, genotypes 2 or 3, in HIV-coinfected patients in real use conditions. Method: Phase IV, postautorization, open labelled multicenter trial with a planned duration of 118 weeks in which 71 patients from several hospitals of the Servicio Andaluz de Salud will be enrolled. The usual clinical and analytical follow up will be performed but additional blood samples will be obtained for determination of interferon and ribavirin plasma levels. The primary end point wall be a sustained virologic response (defined as an undetectable serum HCV-RNA after 24 weeks after the cessation of treatment). Likewise, rapid virological response (at 4 weeks of treatment), early virological response (at 12 weeks), and end of treatment response rates will be evaluated as well as their relationships with the plasma interferon an ribavirin concentrations determined by ELISA and HPLC, respectively. The safety and tolerability of the studied medications will be evaluated by means of clinical adverse events, physical examination and laboratory results.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of single oral doses of daclatasvir in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection
To evaluate the effect of treatment of insulin resistance in the response of chronic hepatitis C treatment, mesure as HCV-RNA negative at week 72. 4.3.2 Objetivos secundarios To evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with metformine to erradicate the insulin resistance of patients with chornic hepatitis C genotype 1 measure as HOMA-IR < 2.
The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of anti-HIV drugs on hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load in people infected with both HCV and HIV.
This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS plus COPEGUS, with or without concomitant pioglitazone, on hepatitis C virus titers in treatment-naive patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C, and insulin resistance. Patients will be randomized to receive either a)PEGASYS 180 micrograms/week + Copegus 1000-1600 mg/day (according to body weight) for 48 weeks or b)16 weeks of pioglitazone (30 mg daily for 8 weeks, then 45 mg daily for 8 weeks), followed by PEGASYS 180 micrograms/week + Copegus 1000-1600 mg/day + pioglitazone 45 mg daily for 48 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The purposes of this study are: 1. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose versus standard-dose of ribavirin in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a given for 16 weeks in hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 infected, treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C patients after achieving a rapid virologic response (RVR,defined as seronegativity of HCV RNA at week 4 of treatment). 2. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 24-week versus 48-week regimen of peginterferon alfa-2a plus standard-dose of ribavirin in HCV genotype 2 infected, treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C patients who have no RVR.
When administered simultaneously, interferon-alpha 2b + interferon-gamma result in dramatic antiviral synergy.Ribavirin has shown to enhance interferon-gamma levels in patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon-alpha. Enhancement of immune responses, especially those related to type-1 T helper cell activity, may contribute to better efficacy in combining ribavirin with IFN-alpha for treatment of chronic hepatitis C. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a triple regimen, a combination treatment with Interferon gamma, Interferon alfa-2b plus Ribavirin in patients who have not previously responded to interferon alpha in combination of ribavirin.
